I have used the Essay Styles for High School curriculum again and again over the past two years for multiple classes including a creative writing class, two US history classes, an American literature class, and a literary analysis class. It has become my staple curriculum/reference book on how to write narrative, descriptive, expository, persuasive and comparison/contrast essays. This curriculum takes you through each step needed to successfully write each of these essays, along with essay examples, outlining methods, editing checklists, and grading rubrics. The course is very easy to follow and can be used alone as an essay course, or used in conjunction with another course like a literature course. My daughter’s writing has improved because of using this course in our homeschooling. I even think that she will be taking this booklet to college in a few years!

I used Essay Styles for my senior, sophmore and eighth grader last year. My senior was a strong writer already but my sophmore and eighth grader were not. All three students consistently wrote strong, organized essays the entire semester. I was very pleased. I highly recommend Essay Styles.

Testimonials

"Greetings from Alaska! I'm still sharing the best curriculum ever with all the homeschool moms I meet. Thank you for creating such a fantastic, REAL, usable, family-centered, multi-aged, awesome curriculum! How's that?? All true, spoken from experience and from the heart!"

Jennifer

"I am using the American Literature [high school] curriculum for a co-op starting in August and am very pleased with it so far. I have laid out weekly lesson plans for the group so that they are reading along at the same pace and know which assignments will be due when. It is so clearly laid out and easy to use. I love the notes on grading/assessing the assignments and the rubrics you have provided. I want to order a few more things real soon, so really appreciate the coupon!! Thanks!"

Erica

"E. is in 4th grade right now and C. is in 1st grade. I love being able to use Train up a Child Publishing curricula with both of them! (And we'll be adding L. in kindergarten next year.) What a blessing this curriculum has been and continues to be for us! Thanks Dana and Beth!"

Julie

"I am planning on using Train up a Child Publishing curricula right on up through high school so don’t stop writing those lesson plans!"

Carol

"The kids and I just finished playing a '20th Century Trivia' board game that A. made after I saw it in the Preparatory Unit Program of Train up a Child Publishing. What a great idea! He had to come up with the idea, use history & geography to come up with the categories and then the questions, make the board, paint the board and then make up the rules. It was a great 2-week project!"

Vicki

"My daughter and I are currently using the first grade lesson plans and we are enjoying it tremendously. I wasn’t sure how I would teach history and if I would enjoy teaching it since it was never my favorite subject. Train up a Child Publishing has made it easy and fun for us both while exposing us to a variety of historical time periods instead of focusing on just one unit. We are learning so much! I love the fact that the lesson planning is already done – this saves me so much time! It is well organized and easy to follow. God bless,"

Tracey

"I love the Unit Programs' FLEXIBILITY!!!! We can dig deep and do lots of writing and projects with each unit or at a bare minimum, just read some of the books listed - all depending on how busy the rest of our life is at the time. The kids LOVE the books. Also, I can teach multiple children of differing grades very easily with it. I will recommend this program [because it is] fun, flexible and far out! (I was trying to think of an F word that meant it's awesome and good quality.)"
